They elected themselves on a platform of stability, this is so much fun.

Peter Dutton has left the front bench, now.

Dutton would just be Abbott 2.0. Lets not.

I love that this is still a thing and probably will forever still be a thing https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1755/685614c9-88d7-47a3-813a-b5e002836ba9/image.png Abbott memes never die

The Liberals are screwed regardless of whether Malco or Voldemort got the top job; the former is uninspirational and a bitch to the conservative faction, the latter divided his soul into horcruxes scattered all over Nauru. The next election is Labor’s election to lose.

Peter Dutton looks like the lovechild of Putin and a disappointed potato.

Oh dear https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/malcolm-turnbulls-leadership-crisis-deepens-as-greg-hunt-steve-ciobo-also-offer-resignations/ar-BBMfDcs?ocid=spartanntp Malcolm Turnbull's prime ministership is in crisis, with 10 of his frontbench offering to resign. The ABC understands Cabinet ministers Greg Hunt, Michael Keenan and Steve Ciobo, as well as Citizenship Minister Alan Tudge, are the latest frontbenchers to offer their resignations, but they have not been accepted. International Development Minister Concetta Fierravanti-Wells also resigned, firing a parting shot in which she accused the Government of straying too far to left. Another five junior ministers have also offered their resignations, creating a reshuffle headache for Mr Turnbull should he accept. But so far he has not agreed to their offers. One source close to Mr Dutton believes another two or three Liberals have drifted to Mr Dutton overnight. That would leave the new backbencher just four or five votes short of the 42 he needs to seize the leadership.

time to stretch those voting muscles cunts

Cant wait to vote for turnbutt, potato, budgie smugglers (onion) or that other guy who cant eat a fucking sausage sizzle

Azza Bill Shorten has been Labor leader for 5 years. It'd be a gigantic fuckup if they replaced him at all, considering Tony Abbott's relentless LABOR IN CHAOS rhetoric when Rudd was rolled by Gillard. He's got the personality of a block of wood but he'll have a cabinet of good Labor pollies as ministers doing most of the work. Hell, one of the reasons Krudd got rolled in the first place was because he relentlessly tried to micro-manage the government instead of letting his ministers do their jobs. also if you say Bill Shorten has to go you absolutely cannot exclude Albo because he'd the only other realistic choice. I mean, who the fuck do you want to be Labor leader if Shorten, Albo, and Wong can't be leader?

We should definitely be voting for policies and what the parties stand for. If the last 10 years have taught us anything, it's that who the PM actually is at the time means oh so little.

PM Plibersek next election, please!

I am so sick and tired of these leadership spills. What, its been six prime ministers in the past 11 years?

I wasnt being serious if I didnt make that obvious enough, my comment about the labor leaders is because theyre unlikeable and there wont be a big voter base around them. Say what you want, but at the end of the day most people vote based on the leader and not policy. I know how retarded that is, but thats what happens.
